McDonald's New Menu Includes This Spicy Edition - Price And Is It Coming To Your Branch Soon?

McDonald's UK has expanded its summer 2025 menu with the return of a popular spicy item. A limited-time burger featuring Frank's RedHot sauce is now available at select branches. Here is an overview of the new release, including pricing, availability, and customer response.

What Is the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot Burger?

The McSpicy x Frank's RedHot burger is a seasonal menu item made with 100% chicken breast fillet, Emmental cheese, jalapeños, slivered onions, and Frank's RedHot mayo, served in a toasted sesame seed bun.

To accompany the burger, McDonald's has also brought back the Frank's RedHot Mayo Dip, offered as a standalone side to complement this and other menu items.

This release follows earlier demand from customers and forms part of McDonald's summer campaign to refresh its limited-edition offerings across UK restaurants.

How Much Does the McSpicy x Frank's Burger Cost in the UK?

The pricing is consistent with similar promotional menu items in the UK:

• Burger only: £5.99 ($8.18)
• Medium meal (with fries and drink): £7.99 ($10.92)
• Frank's RedHot Mayo Dip: £0.50 ($0.68)

McDonald's app users will earn double MyMcDonald's Rewards points when purchasing the burger through the app, offering added value during the promotion period.

Where Is the Spicy Burger Available and for How Long?

The item was released on 7 May 2025 and is available at participating McDonald's branches across the United Kingdom. According to Little Black Book, the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot burger will remain on menus until 26 June, while the Frank's RedHot Mayo Dip will be available until 21 October 2025, subject to availability.

Customers can confirm whether their local branch is participating via the McDonald's app or by asking in store.

McDonald's is also preparing to launch a Spicy McMuffin breakfast range on 8 July 2025 in the United States. A UK release has not been officially confirmed. According to McDonald's, the Egg McMuffin, introduced in 1971, was the company's first-ever breakfast sandwich and helped establish its global breakfast menu.

UK Reactions to McDonald's Spicy Menu

To support the relaunch, McDonald's rolled out a nationwide 'Make It Hot' campaign across digital, in-app, billboard, and influencer platforms, with content tailored to younger audiences and social-first consumers.

The campaign includes TikTok challenges, influencer-led taste tests, and interactive promotions designed to boost online engagement and encourage user-generated content. It reflects McDonald's broader strategy to appeal to Gen Z and millennial audiences through humour, spice, and social relevance.

Customer reactions have been mixed, with some praising the bold flavour and heat, while others feel the spice may not suit all tastes. Hashtags like #McSpicyRedHot, #MakeItHot, and #ButMakeItHotChallenge continue to circulate across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), helping drive digital visibility for the campaign.

Is the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot Burger Still Available Near You?

The burger remains on McDonald's UK menus as of July 2025, though availability is limited by location and duration. Customers are advised to use the McDonald's app or speak to staff in store to verify local stock.

The Frank's RedHot Mayo Dip, while also limited-time, is expected to remain in rotation through mid-October 2025, depending on supply at each participating branch.
